Board
COVER's Advisory Board gathers around the table once a month to provide community oversight and guidance to COVER staff. These dedicated Advisors also spend time in between our monthly meetings to work with committees of community members. Among these committees are Homeowner Support, Volunteer Outreach and Support and Donor Relations.
